Research Statement


Early research on CAD for digital microfluidic based biochips has been focused on device-level physical modelling of single component. As the use of digital microfluidic based biochips increases, their complexity is expected to become significant due to the need for multiple and concurrent assays on the chip, as well as more sophisticated control for resource management.

    The research contributes to the area of design automation and testing of Digital Microfluidic Biochips followed by development of automated detection mechanism and its cyber physical application targeted towards the development of an integrated biochip system.

  • To develop new techniques for geometrical synthesis and chip level wire planning to enhance performance for Bioassay execution in Digital microfluidic biochips.
  • To develop new testing methodologies for DMFB towards efficient planning of test schedule resulting in minimal and efficient utilization of test resources with optimal test completion time.
  • To develop automated detection mechanism for detection analysis and efficient cyber- physical application using multiple biochips for intelligent medical diagnostic application.
